    Anyone that has gone to college with a psych major know that they’re not stable, that’s why they’re in the major. They’re either psychopaths trying to learn how to be better psychopaths or have issues.

      Psychology was the most popular social science major at my university. It was considered the business degree but for decent folks, like a generic or liberal arts degree.

      The idea that a psych major is unstable or unique in any way is absolutely foreign to me. There were a lot of white people, though.

        I’ve never seen anyone take psych as a major like they did for a liberal arts degree. Maybe different schools do different things? I was definitely being too general and there are exceptions. There weren’t exceptions at my university in my personal experience, but you could have some.
